Orcas in the morning, and a grey whale in the afternoon! Made for 2 fabulous trips! The morning orcas were no less than 3 transients, the T10's (Mum and her 2 offspring). They were all the west out by Sheringham Point, and were travelling at a steady 6 knots westbound. We stopped by Race Rocks on the way home, and saw our 4 favourite (and only) pinnipeds!

Out at Freshwater Bay in the afternoon with the same grey whale as yesterday, making its way east towards Port Angeles. 100's of seabirds were at the west end of the Elwar River, as it terminated in the strait, feeding on what Ron guessed were lots of sandlance. We saw a shoal of herring on the way home, a feeding salmon within, in the midst of many gulls dining at the surface! What a rich marine world we work in!
